I'm telnetting into my server.

The interpreter ("exu") is in a directory called /var/www/interpreters. If
I go to that directory and type "exu," it says command not found. If I
type "./exu," it does nothing. Shouldn't I get the prompt that asks me
for the filename to run?

Check.

I've got an .htaccess file in my directory consisting of this:

AddHandler cgi-script .esp
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.esp index.html index.htm

I've run my .esp scripts in the past with no problem. I switched to a
different directory to run some test code and now can't get it to work
again! sheesh!!! This should be easier for us dummies. :/
